Legz Diamond & The Purple Gang - Top of the World lyrics

Look Ma, I'm on top of the world looking down Are you proud of me now? So I have to wear this thorny crown I don't care, you can't hurt me now You say you don't know what's become of me When we grew up in poverty I couldn't get a real job So the liquor store got robbed But look Ma, I'm on top of the world looking down Are you proud of me now? So I have to wear this thorny crown I don't care, you can't hurt me now I came up the hard way Did some time then you were ok But now its like your scared of me Said I got the devil in me But Look Ma, I'm on top of the world looking down Are you proud of me now? So I have to wear this thorny crown I don't care, you can't hurt me now I don't ever hear from you A Christmas card a year or two You never let me buy you anything You said all my money is blood stained But look Ma, I'm on top of the world looking down Are you proud of me now? So I have to wear this thorny crown I don't care, you can't hurt me now I came up the hard way Had to hustle every damn day You know I never had a real home There's nothing left in me to reform So look Ma, I'm on top of the world looking down Are you proud of me now? So I have to wear this thorny crown I don't care, you can't hurt me now Ask your priest to say a prayer for me Cause someday soon you'll be rid of me And I'll go out the hard way I get tested every single day Just look Ma, I'm on top of the world looking down Are you proud of me now? So I have to wear this thorny crown I don't care, you can't hurt me now I don't care, you can't hurt me now
